Flash-to-Pass

Daytime Running
Lamps (DRL)
If equipped, the DRL can make it
easier for others to see the front of
your vehicle during the day. Fully
functional DRL are required on all
vehicles first sold in Canada.
A light sensor on top of the
instrument panel makes the DRL
work, so be sure it is not covered.
The DRL system makes the
low-beam headlamps come on at a
reduced brightness when the
following conditions are met:
. The ignition is in the ON/
RUN mode.
. The exterior lamp control is
in AUTO.
. The engine is running.
. The parking brake is released or
the vehicle is not in P (Park).
When the DRL are on, only the
low-beam headlamps, at a reduced
level of brightness, will be on. The
taillamps, sidemarker, instrument
panel, and other lamps will not
be on. The headlamps automatically
change from DRL to the regular
headlamps depending on the
darkness of the surroundings. The
other lamps that come on with the
headlamps will also come on.
When it is bright enough outside,
the headlamps go off and the DRL
come on.
To turn the DRL off or on again, turn
the exterior lamp control to the off
position and then release. For
vehicles first sold in Canada, the
DRL cannot be turned off.
Automatic Headlamp

vehicle is started in a dark garage,
the automatic headlamp system
comes on immediately. If it is light
outside when the vehicle leaves the
garage, there is a slight delay
before the automatic headlamp
system changes to the DRL. During
that delay, the instrument cluster
may not be as bright as usual. Make

illumination control is in the full
bright position. SeeInstrument
Panel Illumination Control 0131
